my favourite part of the article
It is a nice article especially I like the underlined quote. Everyone that has their jimmies rattled with Babcock's coaching methods - re: Nylander - need to take a chill pill. Accountability is of utmost importance to build a culture in which effort and compete is ingrained in the mindset of the players
Also, regarding playoffs - even if Leafs do not make the playoffs its not the end of the world. This year is truly just a beginning. Patience is required

“I’m excited about the progress, but I think for all of us – players included – we know that this is just really the beginning of the work,” said Shanahan.
The 47-year-old is a process-driven guy. He doesn’t view the road ahead in terms of timelines for when the Leafs need to get back to the playoffs or when they’ll be ready to contend for a Stanley Cup.
He had strong praise for head coach Mike Babcock because of the work he’s done with the rookies and holdovers alike.
“When I see Mike – what some might see as criticism (of a player), I see as coaching. That’s Mike’s job, that’s why he was brought in here. It was not to inherit a team, it was to build a team.”
